I made up this recipe many years ago, because I loved the corn dogs you buy at carnivals but could not find a recipe for them. Great served with mustard.

Steps:
- Whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir in eggs and milk. (You will have about 5 cups batter.) Fill a large heavy pot, Dutch oven, or deep fryer with enough oil to submerge hot dogs; heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 360 degrees.
- Meanwhile, pat hot dogs dry, and insert a 10-inch bamboo skewer through each lengthwise; roll in flour to coat.
- Dip 1 hot dog into batter, turning, until completely coated; let any excess batter drip off, and wipe away extra batter using your fingers so that hot dog is coated evenly. Lower hot dog into hot oil. Immediately repeat with 2 hot dogs.
- Cook corn dogs, turning to cook evenly, until deep golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined tray, turning to blot oil. Working in batches of 3, repeat with remaining hot dogs and batter.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a high-quality hot dog. Look for one that is made with 100% beef and has a good snap to it.
- Don't overcook the hot dogs. They should be cooked until they are just heated through, about 2 minutes per side.
- Use a good quality cornmeal batter. Look for one that is made with fine cornmeal and has a good flavor.
- Make sure the batter is thick enough to coat the hot dogs evenly. If the batter is too thin, it will run off the hot dogs and they will not be coated evenly.
- Fry the corn dogs in hot oil. The oil should be at least 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oil is not hot enough, the corn dogs will not cook evenly and they will be greasy.
- Drain the corn dogs on paper towels after frying. This will help to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the corn dogs hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
